IMARK Holdings

A message from our Founder As December 31 approaches, it’s important to reflect on our achievements and the lessons we've learned. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our clients and partners. This year marks 16 years for IMARK, filled with invaluable experiences in both the Italian and U.S. markets. I am excited to welcome for 2025 two new clients EUROSPITAL and ECOGEST. I’m happy to see the strengthening of transatlantic political relations, a vision we recognized back in 2008. This evolution presents significant opportunities for Italian innovation in the U.S., and I believe America should continue to invest in Italy. So, please don’t be afraid. Italian Design Week, the project I founded in Washington, D.C., has become a vital platform over its three successful years, allowing brands to connect and showcase their latest innovations. This year, we gathered over 40 companies and key stakeholders to explore the future of design. Special thanks to Ferrari for their participation and to Intesa Sanpaolo for their Lookforward program. I also appreciate the support of Elisa Zambito as we work to promote education and skills in a new coming up project will release soon. I proudly launched the first UN Italian Table on June 2nd to focus on design and the Sustainable Development Goals, with RAI as our esteemed media partner. Additionally, I initiated the first hub of UN with the office for partnership in collaboration with the Region of Tuscany, selecting Villa Petriolo as a model of sustainability. I believe in SDGs. On October 2024 I launched IMARK Impact, a NGO that focuses its goals on education in many fields. I was fortunate to launch the Innovation Day at Microsoft Garage in New York twice, and once in collaboration with the Italian Consulate to engage Italian brands with a 4-dimensional AI business solution. Working with Mike Pell has always been incredibly valuable. Having served over a decade with the American Chamber of Commerce for DC and Texas, reconnecting at the gala on December 3 was truly inspiring. Special thanks to Managing Director Simone Crolla for his recognizable outstanding job and our new amazing president, Stefano Lucchini. Finally, I want to thank all the media that supported our efforts, especially Modern Luxury, Forbes, ANSA, Milano Fiananza and RAI, with a special shout-out to Claudio Pagliara This year has also been challenging for us. Our foundation is built on trust, and we've come to realize that a simple handshake is no longer enough. It's disheartening to have confirmed this reality. I would like to acknowledge the addition of an esteemed team member this year, Angelo Arcadu We are excited to see his contributions in the areas of public affairs and PR at IMARK, which will undoubtedly add significant value to our team.
